Comment:

It takes some time to get used to Zichy, but when you do you realize he is a very genuine and caring man. Not many profs know every student's name by the end of the class. Very fair marker - wants to see students succeed. Show up to class and prepare the readings ahead of time (due to pop-quizzes) and you'll do great!

Probably the best professor that I will have in university! Shared his life experiences through the form of poetry, and they were very interesting. If you are interested in having a whole new perspective on language, and life experiences TAKE THIS CLASS! Thank you Mr. Zichy!

Comment:

Prof. Zichy is a terrible prof. I will never take a single class from him again. He is rarely on topic hates the books he teaches and makes one point about a book and repeats it for weeks. I learned nothing all year.

Comment:

Prof Zichy was a great first year English prof, made a boring class bearable with his stories and was an easy marker as long as you showed up for class. Not missing class is important as he gave quizzes and didn't always give us dates that they would happen but easy class otherwise.

Comment:

This man truly cares for his students and no matter the time, place, or material, he will try his very best to meet with you. Although he tends to go off on stories, all of them were intertwined to the purpose and the topic at hand. Students complaining were the ones who only ever showed up every so often and talked obnoxiously all class long...

Comment:

Hardly ever on topic, not sure what he was aiming to teach, dont think I learned a single thing. Talks about sex a lot. Wastes class time joking around and talking about politics or authors instead of the actual literature. Seems to hate Canadian literature. However, everything we read was a good read. Something for everyone reading wise.

Comment:

Prof. Zichy was my favourite instructor during my first year and probably will retain that spot for the rest of my education. I found him hilarious and compelling although he does tend to make some of the same jokes too often. I didn't do so well in the class because I didn't put enough effort in, but I would absolutely take it again regardless.

Comment:

Prof. Zichy may be the most chill 1st year English prof you can have. He's old fashioned, so be prepared to go to class every day and take some notes. He's knowledgeable about the material he teaches and we had 2 essays all year, but lots of pop quizzes. Expects you to know your grammar by 18+ yrs old, which is reasonable, but is hilarious.

Recommend it to anyone taking a first year English! He is hilarious and very passionate about what he teaches. Go to lecture, read the materials and listen to what he has to say then this course wouldn't be a problem at all. He is very fair with his marking too!

I have 350 characters to write with so here I go. TAKE THIS MANS CLASS. He is a wonderful prof who values education above all and drops real-life advice all the time. Teaches you more than any other college prof could, would re-take any of his courses if I had the chance to. Great jokes(sometimes weird lol) + easy on marks if you show up to lecture

Hilarious prof. Loves to crack some jokes and is always jolly and giddy. If you read the material you should have zero problems doing well in his class. He is a very generous marker and seems like an all around sweet guy. 10/10 would recommend for first year english 110

You either like him or you don't. I found he was very interested in Canadian Lit. ad could make very good insights about the texts. Show up to class and you get good participation marks.
